Calidore String Quartet Wins $100000 M Prize

The Calidore String Quartet (Jeff Myers, Ryan Meehan, violin; Jeremy Berry, viola; and Estelle Choi, cello) are a resident string quartet of the CMS Two program beginning in the fall of 2016.

The Quartet commented on the prize:
The incredible exposure of the M-Prize Competition combined with its unprecedented financial support gives us the ability to create and promote new projects like recordings, commissioning new music and other creative initiatives. The M-Prize will also support our growing international presence, allowing us to share our music across the globe. We look forward to performing and developing a relationship with the prestigious series that partnered with the competition. As the inaugural grand-prize winners we will strive to expand the audience for chamber music and carry on the legacy of our art form.
